About 6 months ago I found a new obsession - makeup. Not just any makeup, it has to be MAC. I've always used them, but for some reason last June I really started to pay attention to them. I branched out from my very basic (read, only the necessities) collection to having to reorganize and expand the shelving and containers in my bathroom to encompass my quickly expanding stash.
Quantitatively, I started with 1 blush, 2 eyeshadows, and foundation. Now I have 10 blushes, over 50 eyeshadows, 2 foundations, 10 mascaras, and dozens of eyeliners, lipsticks, lipglosses and other miscellaneous items. I'm on all kinds of mailing lists for different makep companies and I follow several beauty blogs.
I do not plan on this blog becoming another beauty blog. I may from time-to-time review products, but I doubt I'll ever put up pictures. That's not the direction I want to take this blog.
Last week, I put in two orders, one at Sephora and one with MAC online (they were having a sale - this is rare enough that I couldn't pass up the opportunity to pick up some items from their permanent collection). The order from Sephora is scheduled to arrive on Thursday and MAC will be here Monday. I'm sooooo excited!!
The Sephora order was small, but I'm in need of a new exfoliator for my body. The last one I tried I had an allergic reaction to it. The one I ordered, The White Ball, by Ojon Tawaka, is supposed to be mostly natural and organic products. I've heard great things about it. I'm currently trying out their hair products as well. So far, so good. The other item I purchased was an eyeshadow dou by NARS call Jolie Poupee (purples). Another item I've heard great things about that I've wanted to try.
MAC had 25% off everything online, so I bought lots. I filled out the items I was missing from the Dame Edna collection (Love her!) and picked up couple more blushes and accessory type items I've been lemming. Yay!
